Summary
Hiroshi Wada is a Senior Principal Software Engineer with 12+ years building resilient cloud and networking systems across startups, research labs, and hyperscalers. He combines deep academic rigor—a PhD and 30+ refereed publications—with hands-on product leadership as a co-founder of Yuruware and as a lead engineer at Unitrends, AWS, and now Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. His work spans distributed systems, disaster-recovery SaaS, and cloud networking, including patents and early research on data consistency that influenced commercial cloud storage thinking. Hiroshi has repeatedly taken research prototypes into production, architecting fault-tolerant parallel processing, CI/release pipelines, and multi-cloud integrations. Comfortable leading small R&D teams or large engineering efforts, he pairs systems-level design with pragmatic delivery and direct customer troubleshooting. Based in Sydney, he brings a rare mix of IP creation, academic impact, and cloud-native engineering at scale.
